Services
Neuropsychological Assessment
Our specialized neuropsychological assessments evaluate cognitive functioning, memory, and brain-behavior relationships to create targeted treatment plans. We use evidence-based protocols to diagnose neurological conditions, developmental disorders, and trauma-related impairments. Our assessments help guide interventions for individuals across the lifespan, from children with learning challenges to adults experiencing cognitive decline.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
We provide trauma-specific interventions designed to address complex PTSD, childhood trauma, and crime-related psychological injuries. Our clinicians employ somatic experiencing and mindfulness techniques alongside traditional talk therapy to help patients process traumatic memories safely and rebuild emotional resilience through structured therapeutic frameworks.
EMDR Treatment
Our certified EMDR practitioners use bilateral stimulation to help patients reprocess traumatic memories and reduce distressing symptoms. This eight-phase treatment approach effectively addresses PTSD, anxiety, and phobic reactions by targeting the brain's information processing system to achieve lasting emotional healing.
Residential Evaluation
We conduct comprehensive evaluations for residential treatment placement to determine appropriate care levels for severe mental health conditions. Our assessments consider medical history, behavioral patterns, and environmental factors to recommend evidence-based residential interventions for individuals requiring intensive therapeutic support.
Addiction Counseling
Our comprehensive addiction treatment combines individual counseling, group therapy, and co-occurring disorder management to address substance use disorders. Certified professionals use motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help patients develop relapse prevention strategies while addressing underlying trauma and mental health comorbidities.

May 20, 2021 Report
From the time we received an approved referral, MBHCA didn't have any available appointments for 3-4 months. Could only see a patient on Wednesdays. Requested a doctor's note for an absence and the lady acted inconvenienced, took more than 2 weeks to get note. It's been ~2 months since we saw the doc and have received NO feedback or response. Would recommend going elsewhere for behavioral health care, these folks are slow and not responsive. Facilities are in an old house and employee yap dog runs around. Not what you would expect in a professional medical environment.
